In a conversation about his role in the Apple TV+ film <em>Causeway<\/em> to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.times-advocate.com\/articles\/on-a-bullet-train-to-causeway-an-interview-with-brian-tyree-henry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Escondido Times-Advocate<\/em><\/a>, Henry spoke about how &#8220;listening&#8221; influences his acting choices and why he finds theater so exhilarating.<\/p>\n<p>Henry is known to punctuate his performances with animated facial expressions, which he admits is a combination of both intentional movements and happy accidents. He explains, &#8220;Sometimes the emotional presence I want for the character to have, isn\u2019t really written for how I might respond. So I sometimes have to, in service to the scene, or to the emotional trajectory of the character, have to show it. I don\u2019t ever want to mess up the integrity of what is written. I don\u2019t want to invade that space; but most times it\u2019s what I feel the character is feeling. And I also can\u2019t help it, honestly [laughs]. I\u2019m still learning that the camera catches everything. I\u2019m not trying to pull focus, but if I feel the character is trying to navigate where their feelings are\u2026or what their connection is to somebody, it usually reads on my face. I also love when my characters have to listen, because there are all these ways to listen. And I really want to make sure that it shows that there is an activeness in listening. Silence is way more powerful, I feel, than words can ever be. That\u2019s where you get to keep your power, or show it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">&#8220;I will always, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, love doing plays. I will always love theater. &#8211; Brian Tyree Henry<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Henry made his Broadway debut as part of the opening night cast of <em>The Book of Mormon<\/em> and has had a variety of roles since. Though he&#8217;s been far more visible on television, he admits he has a deep love for the stage, remarking,\u00a0&#8220;I will always, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, love doing plays. I will always love theater. There is this true challenge. It must be like what a motorcyclist feels when they get up to 120 mph on this open road, knowing there\u2019s a possibility of a pothole that lies ahead, or maybe not. Theater just feels so active, it feels so real. There\u2019s an audience in front of you that has signed up for two hours. They\u2019re sitting next to a bunch of strangers, and shut up and watch this story unfold from beginning to end. They may laugh, they may cry, they may boo you. It\u2019s just so visceral and real. And it\u2019s hard. It\u2019s really, really, really hard. It\u2019s a muscle. It\u2019s athletic. [&#8230;] I mean, I love film. I love film more than I can even express. It\u2019s so magical and amazing, but theater\u2026I don\u2019t know. You have to really want to do it. You have to really care about it. And I do.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Henry spoke about how &#8220;listening&#8221; influences his acting choices and why he finds theater so exhilarating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":177542,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[12937,14832,12105],"class_list":["post-175821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actor-tips","tag-actors-listening","tag-brian-tyree-henry","tag-featured"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.2 (Yoast SEO v24.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&#039;Atlanta&#039;
